Actress Katherine LaNasa, who appears in the medical drama “The Pitt,” says she believes she was haunted by the ghost of her late ex-husband, screen actor Dennis Hopper. In interviews with outlets including W Magazine and as reported by multiple UK and US publications, LaNasa describes what she attributes to the presence of Hopper’s spirit over an extended period. She says it affected her both while awake and in her dreams, and that she felt upset by the experiences. LaNasa recounts several specific incidents, including an encounter she says happened during the time of the Academy Awards, where she claims she saw Hopper in a wheelchair and later experienced other unsettling appearances. She also describes an episode in which she felt she went through an emotionally difficult day, visited an art gallery where she found photos she associates with Hopper, and later dreamed of him telling her he was okay and not in pain. LaNasa married Hopper from 1989 to 1992; Hopper died in 2010 from complications of metastatic prostate cancer at age 74. Sources note she later married Grant Show and that her claims are personal and not independently verified.

(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)In the hit US medical drama The Pitt, Katherine LaNasa plays a rather rational charge nurse who manages lifesaving shifts at a beleaguered medical trauma centre.Katherine herself, meanwhile, has told W Magazine that she believes in ghosts — and even claims to have seen one multiple times.The spectre in question? That of her ex-husband, late Hollywood screen icon Dennis Hopper.“I do believe in ghosts,” she confirmed in an interview released Tuesday. “The ghost of Dennis Hopper would not leave me alone for a really long time.“We had been divorced a very long time, but I was the last wife that he’d been with that he wasn’t currently divorcing.”She said: “He visited me first in ways that were scary. He came one time where he was at the Academy Awards and he was in a wheelchair and he fell down and it was super upsetting. He used to come over to me in, like, a sweat, and I told him he had to leave me alone.”The Emmy winner was married to Dennis Hopper from 1989 to 1992. Dennis, who was not only a screen legend of New Hollywood but wrote the seminal 1969 counterculture classic Easy Rider, died in 2010 from complications of metastasised prostate cancer at the age of 74.Katherine said his ghost obliged when she ordered it to leave, only for her to feel “really weird about it” and tell her friend.Dennis Hopper and Katherine LaNasa in 1989Katherine recalled walking home a different route that day and spontaneously entering an art gallery — only to find it riddled with photos taken by Dennis, who was a very accomplished photographer in his spare time.“And [there was one] photograph of him in the very back of the gallery with a fedora on, winking at the camera,” she told W Magazine. “So I felt like he was letting me go.”She continued: “And then he came to me shortly after that in a dream. We were both in a cafeteria in Greece and he told me that he was OK and that he wasn’t in pain anymore and he was good. And I never heard from him again.”Centuries of research have yielded no credible scientific evidence of ghosts, but there’s no shortage of purported sightings, including by famous celebrities.Uncut Gems star Julia Fox said her Harlem home is haunted, while Will Smith allegedly encountered a ghost in London.It remains unclear when Katherine had her apparent sightings of her famous ex’s spirit, but she tied the knot two years after his death with fellow actor Grant Show.The couple first met in 2006 while filming the HBO show Big Love and share a 12-year-old daughter named Eloise.READ MORE:Where You've Seen The Stars Of The Pitt Before If You're Loving The HBO Max DramaIf You've Already Binged Season 1 Of The Pitt, There's Way More Where That Came From
